   Pinyol sets new World Record and leads 2026 championship after 2nd round NOTJ

   Here we go! It has been a minute since the last podcast! Sorry for the little hiatus (after the last hiatus) but time is of the essence, and I figure while the studio isn't finished, let's just go audio only now. This is a special type of episode, perhaps one I continue into the future. This is the re-live audio commentary from NIGHT of the JUMPs in Munich at the second round of the 2026 season. So if you prefer the old school days of listening to the radio, where you can form your own imagery of the action that is going down in your mind, you will hopefully appreciate this! If you prefer to watch it, which I would also recommend you do, please watch it all on NIGHT of the JUMPs YouTube channel here: Qualification: https://youtu.be/HebFQ0vJo6k Final: https://youtu.be/4xfN7BX3KFE We're just getting ready for the 3rd round in Leipzig this Saturday night, so if you haven't bought your tickets, head on over here and we'll see you there 19:00! https://www.ticketmaster.de/event/night-of-the-jumps-tickets/588624464?language=en-us Thanks for tuning in, and see you with the next Re-Live from Leipzig next week!

   Coming Up! NOTJ Hamburg - 10 years since Hannes Ackermann's first win, can he come back and do it again!

   10 years ago in Hamburg, Germany, Hannes Ackermann took his first major win at NIGHT of the JUMPs against some of the world's best riders! The following year, he would suffer a horrendous crash, broken back and take 9 years to get back to the point he can ride consistently at NOTJ. This weekend, he'll be back in Hamburg and bringing the heat with some new tricks and lets see if he can snatch a win. But it's going to be tough to get past his younger brother and 3x World Champ, Luc Ackermann and 6 more riders ready to throw down!
